Feeding a Super Bowl Crowd
The Super Bowl will be here before you know it. What will you serve to those crowds of screaming fans that will fill your living room? One of the best favors you can do for yourself is to keep it simple. Everyone will be focused on the TV during the game… they will not be interested in a sit down meal.
Set up a buffet near the viewing area so everyone can get easy access to the food. If you want to serve hot food since the weather is cold, put some crock pots to use. Crock pots can be used to make chili, pulled pork for sandwiches or stew. Swedish meatballs can be picked out of a crock pot with toothpicks or skewers. Other hot dishes could include a big pan of lasagna or a big pot of spaghetti. These foods can be put together ahead of time and cooked at the last minute. Set them out on the buffet and let your guests serve themselves. Buffalo wings are always a hit and they are a breeze to make.
Everyone loves chips and dip. You can also place cream cheese on a plate and pour salsa over it. Serve it with tortilla chips for a quick dish. Make some deli sandwiches using French or Italian bread. Fill them up with sliced cheese and cold cuts, wrap them in plastic, and put them in the fridge until you need them. Cut and serve as needed. If you want, you can even pop some in the oven for warming.
Use bread bowls for people to use for chili or even spaghetti. The bowl will taste as good as the filling. Make a bunch of baked potatoes or hot dogs and set them out with toppings. Your guests can design their own dog or potato by adding their favorites.
An appetizer only party is a great way to open up your options for food. You can serve everything from simple crackers and toppings to fancy appetizers like rumaki. It is completely up to you. Football fans will love anything wrapped in bacon. Try cooking cheese, shrimp, or sausage wrapped in bacon and served on a toothpick. While it probably will not be ht healthiest option, it will sure taste good!
Be sure to stock plenty of beverages. Beer is a favorite for the Super Bowl. Keep plenty in an ice chest near the food. For those who prefer something non-alcoholic, stock some soda, water, or juice. Everyone will get thirsty from cheering their team on to victory.
Whatever Superbowl recipes you make for your party, be sure to prepare enough to keep everyone fed. Lay out your foods in shifts so there is always something for your guests to choose from. You do not want to be known as the host who ran out of food before halftime.
Keeping your guests fed while they enjoy the game will ensure you a successful Super Bowl party. You will even have time to enjoy the party yourself and watch the game!
